Piero Busso
Barbaresco, Albesani-Borgese, 2020
justerini & brooks tasting note
Complex and tactile with a pliant red and dark fruited feel with touches of sun-baked stones and licorice, a foot-forward, bold and engaging 2020. Vigna Borghese is a sub-plot in front of the Busso cellar, home to the estate’s oldest vines, averaging fifty years old. A southwest facing vineyard at 280 metres elevation planted on sandy white limestone soils. Aged in 25 hl casks for 24-26 months.

93/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous
The 2020 Barbaresco Albesani Vigna Borgese is a potent, structured wine. Given its imposing tannins, I would give it a few years to come together. Chalk, mint, dried flowers and sweet red cherries open gradually, and 2020 remains quite reticent.
